Hey there! I'm here to advertise the Halo RPG, a site that has been running for over seven years! We have a fairly large member base of a few dozen, and although we would like more roleplayers to join, we are far from innactive. We do not roleplay the same story as the games, but instead choose to craft our own, unique story, while not conflicting with major cannon. The RP takes place twenty years before reach, so we do not make use of any cannon characters.
Although we do focus on quality storytelling, we have also made small adjustments to give the site an element of realism. We do not have every roleplayer playing as an invincible super soldier, mowing down thousands of covenant soldiers without breaking a sweat. Instead, we take a far more realistic, millitaristic approach. Yes, we have spartans, but they are not as invincible as in the games, and are implemented in the same way that a modrn millitary might. Our character creation format provides for interesting, unique characters, but also prevents godmodding, which we believe is for the best. Players can choose from either faction, as well as multiple divisions, ranks, and species. Our plot is crafted over months by our team of staff, all of whom are experienced roleplayers, and great writers.
Aside from the main RP, we also have side missions, missions that do affect the site's cannon, but that can be run and created by anyone as long as there is a place for it in the RP, and it is approved by staff. Finally, we have side rollplays, which can be run by anyone, with no staff restrictions (excluding the site rules, of course), and which may take place in the Halo Universe or otherwise. These may be as creative as you like, but do not affect the main RP.
